Barry, thank you for your post and concern. I am 76 and sincerely regret if my response to Jim came across as sounding "poor, pitiful me-ish." Most people consider me very upbeat and positive. I assure you that I am incredibly aware of my good fortune with health and daily thankful that I can continue to do for myself and live independently. While I'm far behind the curve in learning and using new electronics...I still happily rely on my flip phone for car and travel needs ... lol, I can access my Smart tv and enjoy Netflix and PBS and documentary programs. Others tell me my tv and computer can do far more than I have tried, I know they are right but here's the thing: I've learned the joy of contentment and appreciate the small things, endeavors and hobbies that bring me pleasure.

I sort of fell in love with Australia and its people when there and sent many prayers your way during the horrific recent fires that decimated so much of the area and endangered human life, your economy and your adorable koalas and other wildlife. Stay safe and well; you sound like a fella' who has learned the art of living life fully!

I would like to know more about your Neuroplasticity practice. I’ve read up on it a little, but what do you do specifically? Thanks, Steph
